Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 269: Seeing Through the Fog

The mornings in Clear Stream Valley always carried a unique blend of tranquility and busyness.

Su Ming didn't rush to the Repair Hall. Instead, he first went to the medicinal herb field behind his cave dwelling, which was tightly protected by a formation.

What was planted here weren't any rare spiritual herbs, but vast stretches of the most common Heart-Clearing Orchids.

However, in the very center of the herb field, a small area was cordoned off separately. There, over a dozen orchid plants grew that were different from the rest. Their leaves were covered in fine, scattered silver spots, as if a layer of starlight had been sprinkled upon them.

Silver-Spotted Heart-Clearing Orchids.

This was the new variant Su Ming had induced by utilizing the remnant vein of Sinking Star Iron. Although its grade only reached the Upper Yellow Rank, it possessed an extremely special effect—rapid recovery of divine sense.

For Su Ming, who now frequently used the "observation micro state" while also juggling formation deductions, this thing was even more precious than spirit stones.

Su Ming deftly formed hand seals, activating the "Minor Heavenly Cycle Water Rhythm Formation."

The moisture in the air rapidly condensed, transforming into a continuous, fine drizzle.

Every single raindrop was infused with a trace of the uniquely gentle and moist spiritual energy from the "Like Water Art."Under the nourishing rain and dew, those Silver-Spotted Heart-Clearing Orchids unfurled their leaves, their silver spots shimmering, releasing a cool, serene fragrance.

Su Ming took a deep breath, feeling the fatigue from sitting in meditation all night within his Consciousness Sea dissipate noticeably.

"Tsk, this mutated variety is growing quite well." Lin Yu floated above the herb field, resembling a landlord inspecting his work. "At this rate, we can harvest the first batch in another half month. By then, we can try refining a special 'Mind-Awakening Incense' targeting divine sense fatigue. Selling it to those unlucky souls who stay up all night practicing alchemy or drawing talismans would be absolutely, outrageously profitable."

"Master, you're obsessed with money." Su Ming chuckled, shaking his head, his hands never stopping as he meticulously cleared the weeds from the herb field.

"Nonsense! Without money, how will you cultivate your Dao foundation? Without money, how will you buy Void Stone Powder to replenish your teacher's health?" Lin Yu retorted righteously. "What we're doing is called 'supporting the Dao through commerce,' scientific cultivation."

Just as master and disciple were engaged in their usual banter, the restriction at the valley entrance transmitted a series of urgent fluctuations.

Su Ming straightened his back, patted the dirt off his hands, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
